Premium milkshakes made with authentic Italian gelato
What sets our milkshakes apart in Eastbourne is our use of authentic Italian gelato made fresh daily on-site. Unlike standard milkshakes made with commercial ice cream, our shakes feature the dense, flavourful characteristics of true Italian gelato, creating a richer, more intense taste experience. We offer two distinct styles: thick shakes for those who prefer a spoon-thick consistency, and scoop shakes that blend real gelato scoops with soft ice cream for the perfect drinking consistency. This gelato-based approach means every milkshake delivers superior flavour intensity and a luxurious mouthfeel that regular milkshakes simply cannot match.
Extensive milkshake menu — classic flavours to innovative creations
Our comprehensive milkshake menu caters to every taste preference, from timeless classics to innovative modern combinations. Classic options include rich vanilla, decadent chocolate, fresh strawberry, and creamy banana shakes. For more adventurous palates, try our Biscoff milkshakes with authentic cookie flavours, Oreo shakes with real cookie pieces, or Ferrero Rocher shakes featuring hazelnut and chocolate combinations. Seasonal specialties showcase the best flavours of each time of year, while our signature combinations allow you to create custom milkshakes using any of our 20+ gelato flavours. Each shake can be customized for thickness and sweetness to match your exact preferences.
